Is it good to find a foreign girlfriend when i'm studying abroad?

Question

firstly, i'm a Chinese university student studying abroad in USA .my mother had told me repeatedly that i mustn't find a foreign girlfriend because of the language and cultural barrier between two of them before i went abroad. however, recently ,i found i have had a good feeling about a pretty Japanese girl,she's my classmate.i've no idea if i would chase her due to there's a ban laid down by my mother.

in this case. what should i decide ? continue or abandon?

what's ur opinion of the international love?

Answer 1

why would you let your mother decide over your personal life? as long as you think you're good together and that your love is true.. go for it.. love is worth fighting for.. after all... its you who will be together with this girl.. not your conservative and close-minded mother...

Answer 2

Hey, you gonna let mommie tell you what to do for the rest of your life?

Go for it! Japanese girls are cool and bright.

Answer 5

Answer 6

This is something you will have to decide for yourself, based on your  own culture, and it importance you place on your mother's "ban".

  You have to consider what you mean by "girlfriend".   In the USA, it most often means a female you spend time with and whose company you enjoy.  It does not have to involve s*x (although almost all do) nor does it lead to marriage.   There are benefits to dating someone from a different culture and having a different native language in that you can gain a better understanding of them in a fun situation.   Here we view dating more as a means to learning how to interact with the opposite gender and that usually involves dating several different people before committing to one person.   If you like this girl, I would say to talk to her about it.   If nothing else, you could make a nice friend you could go places with and learn from.

Answer 7

Go for it! If she deserves, if she's good then you need to tell her the real way you feel.

but don't let her distract you, cause you need to focus on studying! That's why your mom wanted you to stay away from girls ... it's a rare chance to study abroad you know.

Answer 8

There's really no law on international love. Your mother is also correct and she's only concern that you might be broken hearted because you might fall in love with a girl with different culture, tradition and language. And your relationship might not last long. Although I have heard of couple from different part of the world that fall in love, married, have children and live love till death. You're still young concentrate on your study and put love only your second priority as of now.Good Luck.
